the freshmen

when i was young i knew everything

and she

a punk who rarely ever took advice

now i'm guilt-stricken

sobbin' with my head on the floor

stopped a baby's breath and a shoe full of rice

no

can't be held responsible

she was touchin' her face

i won't be held responsible

she fell in love in the first place

for the life of me

i can not remember

what made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise

for the life of me

i can not believe we'd ever die

for these sins

we were merely freshmen

my best friend took a week's vacation to forget her

his girl took a week's worth of valium and slept

and now he's guilt-stricken

sobbin'

with his head on the floor

thinks about her now and how he never really wept he said

can't be held responsible

she was touchin' her face

i won't be held responsible

she fell in love in the first place

for the life of me

i can not remember

what made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise

for the life of me

i can not believe we'd ever die

for these sins

we were merely freshmen

we tried to wash our hands of all of this

we'd never talk of our lacking relationships

and how we're guilt-stricken sobbin' with our heads on the floor

we fell through the ice when we tried not to slip we'd say

can't be held responsible

she was touchin' her face

i won't be held responsible

she fell in love in the first place

for the life of me

i can not remember

what made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise

for the life of me

i can not believe we'd ever die

for these sins

we were merely freshmen

for the life of me

i can not remember

what made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise

for the life of me

i can not believe we'd ever die

for these sins

we were merely freshmen

we were merely freshmen

we were only freshmen
